A. committee OF French electricians,
to which was referred the question of
protecting from lightning the high steel
observatory tower at The Universal Ex-
position soon TO be held in Paris, deci-
ded that it would itself be a gigantic
Lightning rod, and that if only care were
taken to maintain adequate metallic con-
nection with earth deep enough to be
permanently moist not only would those
inside it be perfectly safe during the
most violent thunder storm, but every
thing near it and for a considerable dis
lance around it would be protected. The
earth plates Will be of copper and will
be connected with each angle at the
base OF the tower by substantial cables.

Recently a farmer found in his garden
/ ,perndsbausen, IN the district Of Kun
,,an Wurtemburg, 40 gold forms in
s,.llent preservation. They bear the
1tos Of the early part of the fifteenth
century,, and were found arranged in the
s.n ofrolIs, not enclosed in a purse or
vessel of any description. Some ruins
IA house that had evidently been de-
stroved by fire were discovered three
aet distant from the place, so that it r1ay
naturally be supposed that this treasure
was buried prior to some war, the owner
no doubt hoping to recover the money
after the event was over. Many of the
coins bear the date Of the Emperor Sigis-
.nund 3; some an earlier, The towns of
Furemberg, Frank fort, Nordlingen,
Basel, Coblentz and Bonn are mentioned
as the places where the money was
coined

Two ancient Egyptian perfumes have
beenreconstituted through the researches
Of young French professor atLyons,
who has devoted himself to studying
Egyptian sepulture and the plants Of the
Nile valley. By hunting through the
PapyruS texts and the inscriptions on the
walls Of the temple lavatories, he has
found the recipes for the manufacture of
"tassi" and "kyphi. . The former was
temple perfume, used to anoint the
statues of the Egyptian Venus. Ky
phil was more important, and besides
being used at home for the rites of Iris and
Scraps, was imported into Greece and
Rome after the conquest of Egypt 1t
then became the favorlte perfume among
the luxurious Greeks and Romans, who
were anoiuted with "kyphi' after the
bath, and we're sprinkled with tho es-
sence during the grand banbuetS, while
sometimes it was used to perfume the
wine.

When Ole Bull. the renowned violil

When Ole Bull, the renowned violinist,
was staying in 1870, he returned home
late one evening from a concert, and as
the nightwas cold he ordered his man to
build a fire. The latter dragged toward
the fireplace huge box, on which the
word ''Firewood' was painted in large
letters. In answer to Ole Bulls aston
ished inquiry, the servant told him that
the box had been that day at noon by
his masters order, he thought. On be-
ing broken open the box was found to
contain twenty-five viol1nS and the fol-
lowing letter: "Great MaSter-The
undersigned, being members Of various
philharmonic societies, hereby declare
that they will henceforth cease to per-
form On the accompanying instruments.
The same wood from which Ole Bull
can draw life, love, sorrow, passion and
melody, is only to be regardeded as
fuel for the flames in the hands of the
undersigned, who therefore request the
maestro to make an auto-de-fe of the en-
closures, and to look upon the ascend
ing smoke as incense offered to his
genius by penitent dabblers in the noble
arr" This curious epistle bore the sig
natures of twenty-five young men. Three
days atterward Ole Bull gave dinner,
to which he invited all the Senders Of the
valuable GREENWOOD" Each guest had
lying before him on the table one of the
violins referred to, and by its side gold
ring with the inscription "Solitude and
Perseverance "a piece Of seasonable
advice to the faint-hearted dilettante,
and symbolic indication Of the means
bv which the virtuSo himself had attained
fame.
